Beta: Xbox Live + BlackBerry = XBerry Live!

I don't know about you but I am a HUGE Xbox360 FanBoy! I don't know how many times I wished there was an app that I could put on my BlackBerry to show me who on my friends list was online and playing what. Enter Xberry Live!, your new best friend to see who's playing, what that person is playing, and what games have they played in the past (as long as that person has all of that enabled in their preferences). You don't just have to add your friends off your list, you can add anyone with a Xbox Live Gamer Tag! More after the jump.

One feature that was added into this application is the ability to know when there is a newer version out and it will let you know to update the app. Keep in mind that this is a BETA app so there may be some minor bugs (only install if you're comfortable with beta apps). Xberry will work for BlackBerry smartphones running OS version 4.2.1 and up and it is available on 81xx, 83xx, 87xx, 88xx, and 9000!

Just a question, do you have to upload all of your friends into the system manually?? Or is there a way to add all of your current friends in one fail swoop? Also how do I get that cool green Icon to appear???

DogFromHell: You'll have to manually input the gamertags you want to track. Adding your account friends list means that XBerry would need to ask for your windows live credentials which translates to a security risk.

just a question... i got it for my storm and it does recognize any gamer tag i enter into the application at all. like the name you see here for me is my exact gamer tag and it does work. i tried it with everyone on my friends list and nothing... any help would be greatly appreciated. my email is JaydenEnV@live.com.

I am excited for a new app for Xbox Live. I sent a message to Microsoft about 5 weeks ago asking for a blackberry application.

One thing I would like to see in the future is a way to message friends. I am also a fan of integrating it with Windows LiveID so that your friends list is in automatically. I disagree about a security issue as the BlackBerry is known for its protection. I mean we get email from Gmail and log onto AIM and even Windows Messenger. Inputting the tags isnt what bothers me as much as not being able to message the people on their xbox and vice versa. Just like the messages work on the computer. I am looking forward to that app.

Also my icon on my 8330 curve does not look like the one in the picture. Mine looks a bit more ghetto. Its like a blue etch-a-sketch with a X in the top right corner. Just FYI

I'd love to help test any thing that you can develop as far as improving the applications that merge xbox and blackberry. While gaming didnt exactly ruin my life, it sure has changed it.

Again thanks for making the app and i look forward to future versions.

Sweet app. Worked until I went to "move" the icon but then the "icon" dissapeared. Thought I may have "hidden" it but I didn't. Icon completely gone but the program still shows as installed. I'm on a 8330 Curve (OS 4.5.XX). Any thoughts?

No restrictive IT policies that I'm aware of. The app runs fine from the install screen but when I go back to the desktop the icon is missing (not hidden, I've checked)... and the app appears in my application list. I'm running OS 4.5.077 on a Telus Mobility 8330 Curve...

I'm a huge gamer but I game on the Ps3...mainly shooters like Socom Confrontation, which comes out tomorrow...and I will feel a sudden illness come on before work. Anyway, will there please be a Ps3 version?! This app looks awesome...great job! Have an answer? Hit me up with a friends invite on psn: xWIDOWx

I recently started using the Xbox Live website on my BB and thought that that was pretty cool (http://www.xbox.mobi/ for those who don't know), but this is sweet!
Good Job, Xavier!
Works beautifully on my 8310 running 4.5.0.81.

I understand what you mean, if you do get that away mode, I will definatley re-download it. I dont always have access to a charger so I really can't scrafice the battery loss. Maybe i should just get a set of new batteries lol. It is a great app though and I thank and commend you for it!

My blackberry is not letting me go to this web page(http://jxl.me/xberry/xberrylive.jad).It is telling me there is a problem with the link. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to download this app. I am a new blackberry user.

I am posting this for "dogfromhell", he is getting an error message "uncaught exception error, the application xberry has timed out", and "responce process terminated". Any help would be appriciated. This is also using ver. 2.99

I got my 8100 Pearl to stop crashing by changing the update setting from "manual" to "30 minutes". That seems to be where the problem may lie. Gotta change it fast, though, before it tries to update otherwise you have to keep trying to do it over and over.

i downloaded it awhile ago, currently have 2.99, and now when i load it i get an update saying 3.1 is available but when i try to update, i get an error "page not found."
i also typed the URL directly and got same error message.

I'm having the same issues (uncaught exception)...since v2.99. I thought I'd download the update for v3.2 and that would take care of it. Now,the app won't even open so I can't change the update settings from manual to 30 minutes as the previous post sugguests. If anybody figures it out I'd love to know.

Is xberry live down? I haven't been able to update/add, etc. To the app since tuesday. I thought it was an issue with the app. I even uninstalled it several times. Tried a different storm and its happening in that one as well.

i just downloaded this app onto my new curve and every gamertag i enter asks me to verify them and tells me they are incorrect. this app needs to be worked on if i can't get my friends on the list what's the point of having it on m phone?

I contacted Juan Xavier Larrea who is the guy that wrote this app.
He told me he needed a donation then he would put my blackerry pin # into his database and then the app woud work.
Well I donated 5 dollars and gave him my pin. Sure enough I could log in and add friends but the app does not update. If your friend is online your app wont show this.
I again tried to contact Juan Xavier Larrea to see about fixing my problem but since he got my money he has not returned one single message.

He wrote a app for the iphone that sells for $1.99 in the app store. He doesnt care about the blackberry any longer.
Save your money!

Dude im in the exact same position your in but the only difference is that he never activated my account once I donated. Every time I try to add a gamertag it says what everyone else is having problems with. I sent a message on the his XBerry page with all my info and he still didnt activate it. I even sent him a message on his facebook... no reply. So today I go to check his website and wouldnt ya know... he has completely removed the Xberry page.. This guy literally took my money. Dont download or donate to this douche

Hi, I've got a 9630 Tour v4.7.1.61. I cant seem to get the Xberry to work. Every time I try to add my gamertag, or any gamertag, it tells me "Please verify the gamertag and try again" does anyone have any suggestions? I'm really excited to get this app to work

I have no problem installing the app on my phone, but when I try to add a gamertag it tells me to "please verify the gamertag and try again" and i have uninstalled and reintalled multiple times. I have also tried changing just about all the option and the permissions and still nothing. I would love some help!!!! (I have a Nextel Blackberry Curve 8350i)
